GDPR and Gravity PDF
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

The Gravity PDF plugin does not collect or store personal data. It's a third-party add-on for the Gravity Forms plugin which can be used to collect and store personal data (see Gravity Forms GDPR recommendations).
This is a list of important information to help you make an informed decision when it comes to the GDPR:
- The Gravity PDF plugin generates PDF documents on your server using the data collected via Gravity Forms. It does NOT transmit Gravity Forms entry data to an external source for processing.
- The plugin can automatically attach the generated PDF to a Gravity Forms Notification email when configured to do so. This functionality is disabled by default.
- The plugin generates PDFs on demand and these are not permanently stored on your filesystem. See our documentation on PDF Security for more information about why a PDF might be temporarily saved to your filesystem.
- You can turn on the Signed PDF URLs feature to allow logged-out users to view a PDF without using IP-based authentication.
- The plugin does NOT create, edit or delete the entry data you collect from your users with Gravity Forms.
- When you install the Canonical Gravity PDF plugin, or any of our extensions, the software periodically makes an API request to GravityPDF.com to check for and serve updates. Your website's domain name and license key (if any) are included in the request.
- If you search our knowledge base from the Gravity PDF Settings Help tab an API request will be made to Algolia with your whole search parameters.
- The Core Fonts are downloaded to your web server from a public GitHub repository (maintained by Gravity PDF). See GitHub's Terms of Service and/or Privacy Statement.
